A study of off-design performance improvement for a centrifugal refrigerant compressor

This study numerically investigates the effects of changing vaned diffuser angles and vaneless diffuser widths of a two-stage centrifugal refrigerant compressor on the reduction of surge flow rate and the improvement of part-load performance. The first stage has a low-solidity vaned diffuser, while...
